This is actually a really cool new feature going out in 0.22.1. I
feel like Karl hasn't bragged enough. :-)

Karl modified cvs2svn.py so that it now produces a dumpfile, rather
than committing directly into an svn repository. This is great for
two reasons:

  1. a dumpfile is super-flexible; you can carry it around, filter it,
     and load it whereever you want (such as appending it to an
     existing repository)

  2. no more swig/python dependencies. This means the bar for cvs2svn
     conversion has been drastically lowered for many users. :-)

Yay Karl!
